As parents with a tribe of four offspring (long since fledged), we well remember

the challenges and tribulations of family holidays in ‘sunny’ Scotland - in caravans, then cottages, as children grew

larger and luggage more voluminous. We couldn’t then afford a campervan, and in retrospect, the idea of six of us in a Vee-Dub makes me shudder!

We were, therefore, intrigued to try Elddis’ take on that most difficult project, ‘the budget family motorhome.’ Its multi-award-winning Autoquest range comprises eight designs, all coachbuilts, based on the Peugeot Boxer with the smallest, least powerful, 2.2-litre 100 horsepower engine. Most are two or four-berth ’vans, with differing layouts - some with neat low profiles, others with jutting overcab foreheads. Elddis’ principle is only to try and provide the same number of berths as travel seats, so the very roomy two-berth 155 we tested recently has no extra travel seats. Into the same-sized body, the 180 crams six berths and six travel seats. Fortunately, with MAW (Maximum Authorised Weight) of

3500kg, a reasonable 535kg of payload is available. But that must include the weight of five passengers (not simply their clutter), so you may have to ration equipment, and should check all-up weight on a weighbridge.

On first acquaintance, the 180 couldn’t be termed pretty, with its large curved luton and flat, white side panels. Big, almost over-sized, tinted windows located in the long rear overhang area seemed slightly ungainly to our critical eyes. Imposing though - at over seven metres - it certainly was, with excellent panel finish and new-design Elddis logos: tidy red/grey/black decals adorn the flanks.

INSIDE An advantage of British ’vans is the habitation door being on our nearside - here about a third of the way down the ’van. An Omnistep (part of the Luxe Pack option, and electrically-operated) and an inner moulded step - with nearby grab handle - give access to a relatively high floor. The door isn’t connected to the remote central locking - that’s restricted to the cab - and unfortunately, the test ’van’s door lock was faulty. Autoquest’s helpful manual advises using more force than normal,

as it’s burst proof, but this one needed repeated banging; embarrassing on site, but doubtless fixable.

Inside, we were re-acquainted with Autoquest’s Montreal Maple - woodwork of surprising quality in such a modestly priced ’van. Pleasant and welcoming honey-gold, it complements the interior of this family ’van, with its beige pattern upholstery, substantial curtains in dark ‘mouse,’ beige removable carpets and wood-effect vinyl floor. The cab has standard Peugeot plastic flooring and grey removable carpet.

From the door, the kitchen is immediately on the left with Pullman dinette opposite (with four fully-belted travel seats). The non-swivelling cab seats are beyond and above, a luton reached by a tall wooden ladder. Part of the luton’s bed base rises on gas struts, easing cab access.

Aft of the door is a large wardrobe (above the Truma space heater) and opposite, behind the dinette on the offside, is the washroom. The final compartment is the rear, U-shaped lounge.

COCKPIT The cab is standard Peugeot. Accoutrements such as cab air-con, passenger airbag and cruise control are missing - available from Peugeot, but involving special order, consequent delay and greater outlay.

Electrically operated mirrors and windows, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls do feature. There’s rear vision through part of the rear lounge window - at least until obscured by road spray (we had some pretty foul weather en route) and, by utilising cab curtains rather than blinds, visibility at roundabouts isn’t impaired.

The Peugeot driving position (like that of its identical siblings, Citroen Relay and Fiat Ducato) is splendid, controls falling naturally to hand (including a five-speed dash-mounted gearlever). It’s a very pleasant driving environment.

I’m a great fan of this little 100 horsepower engine, which generally punches well above its weight, but I wondered how it would cope in a big beast like this, especially considering the extra frontage of its luton. The 180 cruised

smoothly on motorways at an indicated 65mph, and - in bursts - could manage 70mph well enough. I wouldn’t push it further from choice, as it’s lower geared - 70mph shows 3100rpm. Slogging doggedly up the A1 into a northerly half-gale, speed was reduced and overall, our fuel consumption - according to the trip computer - was 26.8mpg. However, put not thy faith in gizmos; I calculated consumption - brim-to-brim - at a worse 23.6mpg.

Handling and road holding were good; this coachbuilt is not much wider than the equivalent panel van, and with a not-too-long wheelbase, it’s surprisingly wieldy. The large rear overhang makes for undulatory progress over bumps, but the suspension is supple and, apart from a chattering cooker lid (silenced by tea towel application), interior fittings are generally quiet. Elddis’ new cupboard catches have reduced rattles.

Reversing up our one-in-eight hill? I’m pleased to report perfect behaviour, with no hot clutch smell or judder.

RELAX AND DINE On site, the dinette provides seating for four, with a table (one of two stored in a dedicated cupboard between wardrobe and rear lounge) clipping to the wall. As dinettes go, it’s spacious, with slightly raked seatbacks and good legroom. A big side window, large Heki rooflight (mounted on the trailing slope of the luton), a high-mounted dome fluorescent lamp and two reading lights give illumination. But it’s rather dim after sunset; especially as the reading lights are poorly sited, shining on headrests, rather than your book.

Those headrests should be lower - they’re too high for many folk - and we found the seat squabs too soft for really comfortable, extended sitting.

The rear lounge also seats four in reasonable comfort, on two inward-facing settees, with the second - freestanding - table available. Two adults just have enough space for feet-up lounging. The narrow seat under the rear window could be used, but limbs become entangled if the settees are also occupied. We think this seat could be deleted.

the challenge? Elddis has placed the kitchen in one compact unit, opposite the dinette, so the table can provide an extra worktop. Tabletop and unit work-surface are substantial and nicely finished. A three-burner, auto-ignition Spinflo hob (under a ‘Chinchilla’ glass lid, useable as chopping-top) and a large stainless steel sink - also

The rear window is too wide - its plastic blind surround protruding uncomfortably just where your shoulder should be when lounging. A basic rooflight, ceiling-mounted dome-light and four halogen reading lights are fitted, while an aerial point and socket for the TV are positioned adjacent to the table storage cupboard’s top, (with a folding shelf) - too high for comfortable goggling, we found.

Overall, there is room in this ’van for two adults and four little darlings to sit comfortably on a rainy afternoon, quietly playing Scrabble: quite an achievement.

lidded - are supplied. There’s a decent area of surface alongside, but Rona always covets a proper draining board - here, a plastic removable version must suffice. Underneath the hob, one unit houses a Spinflo grill, a separate oven and a metal-fronted pan cupboard. Certainly enough capacity to produce quantities of food then...

Under the sink is a Dometic three-way fridge with freezer compartment - at 92 litres, a touch modest for a family’s food storage, but a fair compromise given regular replenishment. Alongside, there’s a narrow, shelved cupboard, including a cutlery drawer - a little small for a family’s needs, again, it’s an acceptable compromise. Two capacious, un-shelved cupboards above, have proper catches, while underneath, there’s a short fluorescent tube light above the sink; another over the hob would help.

There’s further storage space on top of the cupboards, but it’s probably too high for most to use. A 230V socket is fitted under the top cupboard above the work-surface, and perfectly placed for the kettle. The adjacent grab handle by the entrance is fine for hanging a rubbish bag! A compact kitchen, it’s true, but Rona found it worked well.

SLEEPING SIX A good family ’van should have proper sleeping accommodation for everyone. Other than sitting comfortably, everything else we do in a motorhome can be done equally well, or better, elsewhere. A good washroom is handy, but many use site facilities. And how many regularly shower onboard?

You could cook a full roast dinner in a well-equipped kitchen; some do, but many often prefer to eat out: they’re on holiday after all! However, it’s a smart washroom and kitchen that often sells a ’van, whereas what really matters tends to be an afterthought: how good are the beds?

Uncomfortable sleeping causes grumpy holidaymakers and a less enjoyable trip. If things are too bad, the ’van may even be sold. So, beds are of prime importance: comfort, ease of making and unmaking, how many

extra cushions are needed, and where to store them in the daytime.

So, how does the 180 shape-up for a family of six? It’s a tough challenge...

Elddis has provided six berths, in three beds - rear lounge, dinette and luton. We slept in them all. Our first conclusion? This ’van needs wind-down steadies. Movement in the luton ‘rocks the boat’ for those in the rear lounge bed, and vice-versa. With a family on board, it could be like sleeping together in a waterbed!

Bedtime, en famille, would be a military operation - something like this...

First, the luton. Take two small persons, wash and prepare for bed. Remove tall wooden ladder from luton (ensuring you don’t hit the side window up there). Remove all toys, bedding, pyjamas etc, stored upstairs, plus four large rectangular grey cushions and

place - temporarily - in rear lounge. Escort children up ladder, deploy (extremely tight) safety net and close the bed’s curtains. They may find the bed hard - the mattress is thin - but hopefully you’ll be far enough away to ignore any complaints.

Next, the dinette bed... To make: first require both remaining children to repair to the rear lounge and be quiet!

Then, remove the ladder (with the ladder in place, the extended dinette bed cannot be made). Bear in mind that if the children ‘upstairs’ need to come down during night, it will be difficult as you’ll have to stand on the dinette bed (avoiding occupants thereof) and catch them.

On the outer ends of each dinette seat-base is a lift-up flap. Take care - seat cushions can impede raising them - and I’d avoid standing on them when accessing the luton. These flaps extend the resulting bed width from 965mm (3ft 2in) to 1.25m (4ft 1in) - the gap between the two seats being filled by a string of slats pulled from a box by the wall. The resultant bed sags a little under an adult’s weight, so I’d prefer to have a slightly larger tabletop and use that as the infill.

Next, remove backrest cushions, which involves extending the seatbelts and pulling the cushions through behind them. Place said cushions in the cab. Relocate seat squabs to edge of bed extension laps. Retrieve the four big, grey rectangular cushions from rear lounge, and use to fill in gaps and complete the bed. Remove remaining children from rear lounge, prepare them for bed and insert.

Repair for stiff drink - time-scale indeterminate.

Make rear lounge bed by pulling another string of slats forward to fill the

space between the settees; one cushion - that over the middle rear seat - is removed to the cab. Lay settee back cushions on slats next to seat squabs. Result - a big flat double bed. Closed blinds leave gaps at the bottom, allowing (if you’re lucky), bright early-morning sunlight to stream in. But a lie-in on holiday with kids is an unlikely dream anyway!

One small problem with the rear lounge

10

Live-in Test report

using the luton as a ‘storeroom,’ (or sleeping one kid up, one down) would be much more plausible. The main problem, to us, is using the luton safely as an adult bed. Its base is 1.73m (5ft 8in) above the floor, and with 590mm (under two feet) of headroom, it’s difficult for big folks to bend sufficiently when descending to reach the - near-vertical - ladder. My risk assessment told me it was only safe for Rona to try! In spite of this, the luton contains a nice idea in the form of a drop-down platform (which, unfortunately, doesn’t rest level on the mattress), plus TV connection points, so a set, DVD player, or other gadget could be watched here.

ABLUTIONS The washroom, handily sited between dinette and rear lounge, has a solid-feeling door and handle. There’s a useful ceiling-mounted light outside. The room is spacious, but the wheelarch does intrude into the showering area. The Thetford swivel-loo has plenty of elbowroom and a conveniently sited toilet-roll holder. With its own flush-water tank, separate from the main freshwater supply, you can still use the toilet if travelling (with children!) with otherwise empty tanks - say in winter, or as a weight-saver if heavily-laden. A white plastic washbasin sits in a plastic vanity unit, whose single-skin cupboard doors are a little waffy - but which offers plenty of storage. A wall bracket enables the mixer tap, head pulling out, to serve as a showerhead.

A translucent opening window (with blind), gives illumination, as does a ceiling-mounted halogen light, with switch outside the washroom - good scope for amusement there, kids! Two big mirrors form the splashback for the basin, and soap dish, toothbrush holder and towel ring are provided. A one-piece moulding forms floor and wheel-arch cover, with one plughole in the rear of the shower-tray. It needs to be at the front though, as the ’van sits slightly tail-up. A curtain protects the

wooden door, its rail curving in front of the toilet. If that section were removed, it would allow more space for showering.

All considered this is a good, practical family washroom.

bed was that we found the central slats ‘gave,’ compared to the remainder of the bed, creating a dip in the middle. My interim response, having returned from our foray to Clumber Park Caravan Club Site, was to cut a piece of ply to fit, replacing the slats: during the day, it lived in the table storage cupboard. Naturally, the next complaint was that the bed was too hard: I can’t win! However, a simple re-design - two pull-out bed-frames, with sprung slats and supporting legs, meeting in the centre, would give a comfy night’s sleep.

It’s clear, I hope, from the above, that it would be difficult, though not impossible, to holiday using all six berths. Four sleepers,



THE HOLDS Storage provision is pretty good, especially if you use the luton for carrying bulky, but lightweight, stuff. The wardrobe is big, with a hanging drop of 1.22m (3ft 11in). It becomes very warm in there with the heater on, and in the space below the wardrobe floor, where there’s more storage. In the rear lounge are capacious high-level lockers all round, with room under the seat bases - accessed from above or through drop-down doors. The nearside base has most space, the offside is partly occupied by the gas and (exterior) leisure battery lockers, and power unit. The end box could have been handy, but it’s occupied by a poorly placed heating duct. This also applies to the, otherwise useful, dinette seat-boxes, whose floors crawl with pipes and cables. Once again, there are big high-level lockers above the dinette.

There’s nowhere to carry bikes inside, so you’ll need an external rack. However, there’s that big rear overhang to consider, the extra leverage exerted being of concern. A Witter towbar can be fitted (to the standard Witter chassis extension), so one solution might be to pull a trailer containing family holiday impedimenta.

LIFE SUPPORTThe 180 has most of the facilities you’d expect in a modern motorhome, and some you might not. Particularly welcome to us during our

bad weather ‘shiver-in’ test, was Truma’s Secumotion system. This allows you to drive with the gas on and space heater running - something that’s otherwise dangerous. Arriving on a freezing site in a toasty motorhome is a great boost to morale. The Ultrastore boiler produces hot water using both mains electricity and gas. The Truma space heater is also dual-fuel, either convecting, or blowing hot air through vents in the rear lounge, dinette and washroom. It was slow to warm the interior, running on (hooked-up) electricity, seeming quicker and hotter on gas.

The water tanks are underslung, uninsulated and small (45 litres/10 gallons for both fresh and waste). We worried about the tanks freezing, but ’van interior heat probably helped preserve liquidity. Elddis fits Whale’s autofill system, the idea being to leave the ’van connected to mains water (assuming you’re on one of those rare ‘super-pitches’), or refilling automatically from an (optional) Aquaroll . We found filling from the mains very slow - the inaccuracy of the water contents gauge didn’t help. On-board storage of an Aquaroll (or other container) would be a headache and in the, admittedly rather extreme conditions of our trip (with all site taps freezing overnight), an Aquaroll and submersible pump would need an insulating jacket. Elddis probably envisages a unit arriving on site and staying put, surrounded by its paraphernalia - touring caravan fashion. We remain to be convinced - preferring larger tanks and a more normal, flexible, filling system.

The 85 amp hr leisure battery inhabits an exterior locker at the offside rear, which also contains the mains electric hook-up socket.

Finally, there’s a full-sized spare wheel, just under the tail where it’s easily accessible. Well done Elddis!

CONCLUSION This is a worthy attempt by Elddis to produce a realistically priced and sized motorhome, capable of carrying a big family and all their belongings.
